Alexis Cousins Obituary
CHILLICOTHE: Alexis Christine Cousins, 22, went to heaven peacefully on February 10, 2013, after an amazing, faith-filled battle with cancer.
She was born November 11, 1990, in Chillicothe, OH, to Devin W. and Heather J. (Brown) Cousins, who survive; also surviving is a sister, Kennedy, whom she cherished; grandmothers, Rosemary Brown and Joan Cousins, all of Chillicothe; aunts, Felecia (Brad) Valentine, of Chillicothe, Justine (Dwayne) Smith, of Frankfort, Ranatha Thomas, of Portsmouth, and Beverly Cousins, of Chillicothe; uncles, David Cousins (Harold), of Florida, and Dana (Debbie) Cousins, of Chillicothe; several great-aunts, great-uncles, cousins and close friends.
She was preceded in death by her grandfathers, Lawrence W. Brown and Warren E. Cousins.
Alexis graduated from Chillicothe High School with honors in 2009. She was a member of the National Honor Society, President of the Literary Club and a member of Rainbow Alliance. At the time of her illness, she was a junior at Wright State University majoring in Psychology and employed by the Wright State University Psychology Department. She was an avid reader, played the flute and enjoyed her role as a connoisseur of different cuisines.
She was a lifelong member of St. Mary Parish, where a Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:00am Thursday, Rev. Lawrence Hummer, Celebrant. Burial will follow in Grandview Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 5-8pm on Wednesday at Haller Funeral Home, where a wake service will be held at 8pm.
Alexis possessed great faith, strength and wisdom beyond her years. She was an amazing person and she touched so many lives. It was truly a blessing to know her.
The family wishes to thank the wonderful care team at Nationwide Children's Hospital, Columbus; the clergy at Children's Hospital, the staff of Kroger's Pharmacy-Western, Rev. Lawrence Hummer, our church families, and the many special people, so many, that God has brought into our lives, for your prayers and support. God bless each and every one of you.

When you wonder the meaning of life and love
Know that I am with you
Close your eyes and feel me kissing you in the gentle breeze across your cheek
When you begin to doubt that you shall never see me again
Quiet your mind and hear me
I am in the whisper of the heavens
Speaking of your love.
When you lose your identity
when you question who you are, where you are going;
Open your heart and see me.
I am the twinkle in the stars, smiling down upon you.
Lighting the path for your journey.
When you awaken each morning, not remembering your dreams,but feeling content and serene,
Know that I was with you, filling your night with thoughts of me.
When you linger in the remnant pain, wholeness seeming so unfamiliar, think of me.
Know that I am with you, touching you through the shared tears of a gentle friend easing the pain.
As the sunrise illuminates the desert sky; as that breathtaking brilliance awakens your spirit, think of our time together-all to brief but ever brilliant.
When you were certain of us together, when you were certain of your destiny, know that God created that moment in time just for us.
I am with you always......
